4Now.by'arranging'fthe.ingerypieceE on the i vtles B of the brush B.' ANew. by the operator alternately pressing and releasing the fingerpiece 1E, the valve C is moved alternately open andshut, to allow more or less cleaning liquid to iiow from the reservoir A to the' brush B and to the article brushed at the time L Instead of using a brush B having bristles B and a back B2, as described and shown in Figs. 1,'21a'nd 3, a brush J of felt or other fabric material may lbe used and held l stretched over the underside of the bottom A of the reservoir A, by the use of pivoted clamping arms K, as illustrated in Fig. 5. In this case the cleansing liquid saturates the fabric material and thus assists the latter in y cleanin the type or other mattei.. i

The ountain brush is very simple and durable in construction, tively few parts, not liable easily to get out of order, easl vclean the artic e and exceedingly economical in the use ofthe cleansing liquid.

Having thus described rmy invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: v y i 1. A fountain brush comprising a reser# voir for containin a liquid, a brush secured to the underside ol the reservoir, and a valve mechanism for controlling the flow of the liquid from the reservoir to the brush, the said valve mechanism having a hollow o erating member `extending to the outside@ ,'the

reservoir, and also serving as a filling means for the reservoir.

2. A fountain brush comprising a reservoir for containing a liquid and having outlet ports in its bottom,y a brush secured to the underside of the reservoirand a manually-I controlled slide valve for controlling the said outlet ports, the said valve havinga hollow stem extending to the outside voir and forming a filling means voir.
